DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — GE is buying 2,000 plug-in hybrid cars from Ford for its
corporate fleet.
Ford and GE announced the purchase Tuesday.
GE
has set a goal of converting half its fleet to alternative energy
vehicles. With the Ford purchase, GE now has 5,000 alternative-fuel
vehicles, or about 10 percent of its fleet.
Ford will promote GE’s electric vehicle charging stations as part of the agreement.

The
two companies also plan to work with researchers from Georgia Tech to
study employees’ driving and charging habits. The results of those
studies will be shared with other companies that want to add electric
cars to their fleets.
The C-Max Energi went on sale this month. It can go around 20 miles in all-electric
mode before a gas engine kicks in.
